‘Yellow 2120’ has been driven out of other Altadena neighborhood crawlspaces, but he just keeps coming back

He’s back: the 550lb bear made famous after he took up residence under an Altadena home in November 2025 is wandering the Los Angeles neighborhood again after he moved in and out of the crawlspace of another home.

“Yellow 2120”, as the black bear has been tagged, was spotted in the crawlspace of a home on Minoru Drive on Monday.

Curtis Wilkie Beasley was executed for the 1995 killing of Carolyn Monfort, after supreme court declined to intervene

A 77-year-old Florida man was put to death on Tuesday for his conviction in a deadly hammer attack on a woman decades ago, becoming the 16th person executed to date this year in the nation’s busiest death chamber.

Curtis Wilkie Beasley was pronounced dead at 6.12pm following a lethal injection at the Florida state prison near Starke, authorities said. He was convicted of first-degree murder, robbery and grand theft auto in the 1995 hammer attack on Carolyn Monfort at her home south of Orlando.

The full-back is one of the best passers England has produced: Thomas Tuchel must find a place for him

It was the question nobody was asking: could Trent Alexander-Arnold do it against 10 game but limited Czechs on a mild Tuesday night in Prague? The answer was a resounding yes.

Alexander-Arnold played well after starting for the first time under Thomas Tuchel, demonstrating his value to England by helping them work out the dreaded low block with a trademark assist for Anthony Gordon to settle the nerves in a game coloured by Czechia losing Pavel Sulc to a debatable red card midway through the first half.

Garcés Pérez, who was shot in his car by agents, is accused of striking officer with side mirror while trying to drive away

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday announced an assault charge against a Venezuelan delivery driver who was shot in his car by a federal immigration agent in Texas, accusing the man of striking an officer with his side mirror while trying to drive away.

Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, 28, was charged with one count of assaulting, resisting and impeding a federal officer, according to a criminal complaint. Garcés Pérez, whose attorney has said still has a bullet lodged in his back from the 20 September shooting, made an initial court appearance in an Austin federal court on Tuesday, according to the US attorney’s office in the western district of Texas.

Though not yet approved by any regulatory agency, retatrutide could help improve blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation

The ‘Godzilla’ of weight-loss drugs could help improve blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation and cut a person’s body weight by a quarter, according to the largest study of its kind.

Retatrutide mimics three key gut hormones that help control appetite, blood sugar and metabolism: GLP-1, GIP and glucagon. Unlike other drugs such as Wegovy, which primarily targets the GLP-1 pathway to suppress appetite, or Mounjaro, which contains GLP-1 plus GIP to control blood sugar levels, retatrutide also engages the glucagon receptor, which helps increase energy expenditure.

Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket. “There’s no point beating yourself up for failing to clear a backlog (of unread books, undone tasks, unrealized dreams) that was always inherently unfeasible to clear in the first place.”

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Mistral Chief Executive Arthur Mensch has accused leading global artificial intelligence companies of using the debate over the safety of the technology as a cover-up for their "negligence." "The debate that we've seen in the U.S. has been a cover for the negligence of some of our competitors," Mensch told CNBC's Annette Weisbach, adding that it was necessary to make systems that can contain the AI agents. [...]

"When you give them a lot of tools, those systems [AI agents] are very dynamic, so they can go and do things that you do not expect," Mensch told CNBC. "You need to have the right monitoring in place, and the enterprises we work with, we give them those kind of monitoring systems," he said.

Mistral also develops AI models but takes a different approach to OpenAI and Anthropic by working with individual companies to create custom AI tools to suit their needs and integrate them with their businesses. But unlike its competitors, Mistral has no plans to slow down development of advanced models. The lead that U.S. labs have is "not extremely large," Mensch said, adding that his company was confident that its next-generation model will close the gap "very significantly."

"We have been raising the capital needed to scale the compute that we need to train bigger and more powerful models, in order for us to own our own destiny," he said. Earlier this month, Mistral raised 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion) in fresh funding led by memory chip giant Samsung, as it looks to position itself as a European alternative to rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic.

McDonald's is reportedly using AI-powered pricing tools to recommend menu prices based on what customers near individual restaurants are willing to pay. Franchisees technically retain control over final prices, but some told Reuters they feel pressured to follow the algorithm's recommendations. "A corporate document reviewed by the publication shows that McDonald's tracks adherence to the platform, and notes any deviations from the algorithm's price recommendations," reports Engadget. From the report: Reuters got a look at the interface that franchisees use to access this technology and it's pretty creepy. Messages show stuff like "your restaurant is showing MEDIUM SENSITIVITY to price" based on "customer willingness to pay in your area." Cost differences at nearby locations can be stark. Researchers found that a Bic Mac at a Fresno, California store cost $5.69, but the same burger cost $6.89 at another branch two miles down the road. That's a 21 percent difference.

The company acknowledges that using this dynamic pricing system could open up franchisees to legal hurdles, all while continuing to push the platform. The pricing portal's terms of service reportedly warns that owners "may be competitors of each other" and "it is particularly important for all Users of the Tool to understand and comply fully with antitrust and competition laws." The document also reiterates that franchisees are "always free to determine the final price," thus potentially absolving corporate from any antitrust concerns.

McDonald's has decried Reuters' reporting as "speculative and uninformed." The company says the pricing portal is "a tool, not a mandate, designed to provide restaurant-specific recommendations to help franchisees deliver value for customers and make informed business decisions." The company has been using some version of this technology since at least 2019, according to Reuters. In 2023, however, CEO Kempczinski boasted to investors that it had developed proprietary tools to evaluate pricing at individual restaurants.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Hoewel het aantal te koop staande woningen in Nederland groeit en de hypotheekrentes oplopen, zullen de huizenprijzen voorlopig niet dalen. Dat concludeert ING in een rapport over de woningmarkt. "Daarvoor is de koopmarkt nog altijd te krap."

Toch verwacht de onderzoekstak van de bank dat de huizenprijzen tot eind volgend jaar maar beperkt stijgen: met 2,5 procent dit jaar en slechts 1 procent volgend jaar. Daarmee stelt ING zijn eerdere verwachting van juli licht naar beneden bij.

De economen merken ook op dat het aantal woningen dat te koop staat oploopt. "In vijf jaar tijd is het aanbod bij NVM-makelaars meer dan verdubbeld, van 18.000 naar 37.000 te koop staande woningen. Ondanks het recordaantal woningverkopen komen er momenteel meer woningen op de markt dan er worden verkocht", aldus de bank.

Steden

In en rondom stedelijke gebieden neemt het aanbod vooral toe door de verkoop van huurwoningen door beleggers. Dat komt doordat het door belastingmaatregelen van de overheid voor investeerders nog nauwelijks rendabel is om woningen te verhuren. Vorig jaar werden naar schatting zo'n 40.000 huurwoningen verkocht. Dat is ongeveer 1 op 6 van het totaal aantal bestaande woningverkopen in Nederland. In de grote vier steden was dat zelfs 1 op 3.

In landelijke gebieden en aan de randen van Nederland komt het extra aanbod vooral van ouderen die steeds meer woningen te koop zetten. Ook vakantiewoningen worden steeds vaker te koop gezet, als gevolg van ongunstige belastingmaatregelen.

Vraag

Dat het aantal te koop staande woningen oploopt, is volgens ING best bijzonder. Sinds het begin van deze eeuw gebeurde dat slechts twee keer eerder. Tussen 2000 en 2005 gebeurde dit door een afkoelende economie. De tweede periode was van 2008 tot 2013 en volgde na de financiële crisis. "Door de recessie, oplopende werkloosheid en strengere leennormen nam de vraag naar koopwoningen sterk af."

De vraag naar koopwoningen wordt nu vooral geremd door de stijgende hypotheekrente. De gemiddelde aangeboden hypotheekrente voor een annuïteitenhypotheek met Nationale Hypotheek Garantie en een rentevaste periode van tien jaar staat nu op 4,4 procent. Dat is flink hoger dan de 3,6 procent een jaar eerder. Daarmee zijn de maandlasten voor kopers nu ongeveer 6 procent hoger. "De hogere rentes verslechteren de betaalbaarheid en drukken de maximale leencapaciteit", aldus ING.

WASHINGTON (ANP) - De Amerikaanse minister van Defensie Pete Hegseth kondigt naar verwachting binnenkort aan dat het aantal topofficieren in de krijgsmacht met wel 20 procent wordt verminderd. Dat meldde Fox News eerder op dinsdag en is inmiddels ook door functionarissen bevestigd aan The Washington Post.

De mogelijke ingreep kan gevolgen hebben voor de carrières van honderden huidige en opkomende militaire leiders - van generaals en admiraals tot vlagofficieren.

Sinds zijn aantreden in januari 2025 heeft Hegseth zich nadrukkelijk ingezet om de hoogste rangen van de krijgsmacht ingrijpend te hervormen. In april ontsloeg hij nog de stafchef van de Amerikaanse landmacht, Randy George. Eind augustus stapte de minister van het Leger, Dan Driscoll, op uit onvrede over Hegseths hervormingen.

Hegseth diende jarenlang als officier in het middenkader bij de National Guard en werd naar Afghanistan en Irak gezonden. In die periode ontwikkelde hij volgens The Washington Post een kritisch beeld van de cultuur en het leiderschap binnen de krijgsmacht. In een speech vorig jaar voor de legertop sprak hij nog smalend over de "dikke generaals en admiraals in het Pentagon".
